Klonoa eventually defeated both Joka and Ghadius, but Ghadius unleashed the beast named Nahatomb. Travelling to Cress, the Moon Kingdom, Klonoa learned that Huepow was actually its Prince, but continued to help Klonoa. However, Joka discovered this and attacked Klonoa's house, stealing the pendant and killing his grandpa. Along the way, they managed to find the pendant and left it with Grandpa. They kidnapped the diva songstress Lephise, and the Klonoa and Huepow decided to chase after them. They learned that Joka and his master Ghadius were searching for a pendant that held magical properties. One day, a dark ship crashed into the mountains, just like in Klonoa's dream, and he and Huepow decided to investigate. Klonoa lived in the town of Breezegale with his grandfather, until the day he found the Wind Ring falling from the sky and took it, releasing the ring spirit Huepow and soon becoming his best friend. In Klonoa Heroes, his shirt and collar are equipments that can be equipped and changed in order to increase his defense and agility. It should be noted that once or twice (most recently, in the Wii version) his eye color appears to be two-toned (both orange and yellow in the irises)
When working out in the gym, Klonoa wears a blue head-band with a Pac-Man design, a blue undershirt, blue and yellow legwarmers, and red sneakers. When scuba-diving, Klonoa wears a blue wetsuit with yellow features, a dual-hosed scuba tank, mask and flippers. When cooking, Klonoa wears a chef's hat, a red apron, and blue slip-on shoes. When swimming, Klonoa wears blue swim trunks. When sleeping, Klonoa wears pajamas that consist of light blue for pants and cyan for shirt.
Klonoa's design was slightly altered once more in Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament, making him have rounder, orange eyes and slightly bigger fangs. His face was altered a bit as well, and gave more focus to the fur around his mouth.
The biggest change to Klonoa's design came in his third appearance in Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil, where he went through a radical wardrobe change, gaining a blue shirt with a large zipper pin, dark blue shorts, and a blue cap. Later, in Klonoa: Moonlight Museum, Klonoa's appearance was changed slightly, and his eyes were given a more traditional, animated look, as well as making him somewhat taller. He wore magenta pants, a light blue cap, and had a large, red dog collar around his neck. In Door to Phantomile, Klonoa was much more feline in appearance, with large, yellow eyes and noticeable fangs when smiling. Klonoa's appearance has changed since his introduction in his first game, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, though he has retained his most recognizable features such as his large ears, dark blue and white color scheme, and cap depicting an image of Namco mascot Pac-man eating a dot.
